Sarvodaya - Pochampally Ikat
Nestled between rolling hills, just a short drive from the bustling city of Hyderabad is the village of Bhoodaan Pochampally - a village which proudly displays that Acharya Vinoba Bhave started his Bhoodaan andolan right here.
Over time, clusters nearby of Puttapaaka, Koyalgudam, Choutuppala, Siripuram, Bhuvanagiri, and Gattuppala also following the same technique of weaving - uniquely tying and dyeing the yarn after careful calculation that creates patterns when woven later in warp and weft on the loom, followed. But the name Pochampally remains.
We present a small curated collection of these resplendent ikat sarees and dress materials from the state of Telangana which received it's GI tag in 2005.
